Crews restore power to most affected by storms

PONTIAC. (AP) -- A utility says crews have restored power to most of those affected by thunderstorms and high winds that swept through southeast Michigan.

Detroit-based DTE Energy Co. says that as of Monday night the vast majority of about 145,000 homes and businesses that lost power after storms starting Friday afternoon are back in service. It says power will be back on Tuesday for remaining scattered outages.

The storms knocked down hundreds of overhead lines and trees. Crews from Indiana and Ohio helped Michigan workers on restorations.
